CESNET is a National Research and Educational Network (NREN) in Czech Republic established in Gb/s DWDM hybrid network connections to Géant, GLIF national and EU research projects CESNET

Ultra high-definition video is used in various scientific and industrial applications Low-latency sharing of such content can enable remote collaboration of distributed teams or enhance education Leveraging our experience in high-speed FPGA supported network traffic monitoring & processing Motivation

Uncompressed transfer of 4K (4096x2048) and scalable to higher resolutions Low latency (for interactive work) Working across Internet infrastructure (routers, switches) Lightweight and easy to deploy Requirements

MVTP-4K Input: 8x HD-SDIOutput: 8x HD-SDI Network – 10 Gigabit Ethernet Modular Video Transfer Platform uncompressed transfer adds less than 1 ms to networking delay full-duplex single- or dual-link embedded audio

Hardware structure

8x HD-SDI full-duplex transmission over packet network MVTP-4K

Two modes for each HD-SDI separately - full frame: approx. 1.5 Gb/s per channel - visible frame only: Gb/s depending on format Allows to pack 8x HD/2K with audio to 10GE (up to 25 fps, higher fps for 7 channels) Receiver HD-SDI outputs are synchronized No external clock source needed, receiver adapts to incoming data rate automatically Features

Low-latency 4K transmissions for: real-time remote post-production of multimedia content streaming from events to remote auditoriums Stereoscopic and multi-view transmissions for: e-learning in medicine and other fields collaboration on scientific models (CAVE) Applications

Robotic surgeries are laparoscopic operations with the surgeon using 3D vision and console to manipulate instruments They generally enable minimally invasive operations with less bleeding, lower stress for the patient and less fatique for the surgeon Medical universities and conferences can use real-time low-latency transmissions of 3D vision from robotic surgeries for educational purposes Robotic surgeries

Intuitive Surgical company in more than 800 hospitals around the world cost about $1.3 million da Vinci Surgical System
